Alumni Success

By Blake Gunderson

Noreen Morrow graduated from H-LP in 2014. After high school, Noreen has been attending Simpson College in Indianola, Iowa. She is going to be graduating with a degree in Elementary Education in April and hopes to be teaching 2nd or 3rd grade in the Des Moines area. Besides going to school full time, Noreen has been playing on the Simpson women's basketball team the past four years and has been a starter since her sophomore year. She has had great success including just recently scoring her 1000th point!

Noreen scored her 1000th point at Buena Vista University on January 20th, 2018. It was a very rewarding experience for Noreen, but another special fact about it was that this was the exact date that she scored her 1000th point in high school basketball four years ago. Although it was an awesome personal feeling for Noreen, she was still heartbroken because her team lost the game 62-74 and definitely could have won.

What’s going on up north?

What have the music and band departments on the north side of the building been busy with? The fall play and pep band are two items.

This year’s fall play directed by Kathy Greve and Kim Ingwersen is called “Last Day of School.” This play has a different twist to it as each scene shows a different period of the day with a different pair of students. One student has challenged them all to make the most of their last day of high school, which is the main theme behind it. Because each scene is its own segment, practice is taking place in pairs right now more than all together.

Eighteen students are involved in this play, which will be performed on November 3 and 4.
